The writers and stars of a brand-new BBC comedy will be live on stage this October in a special This Country Rocks the Cotswolds event.

Organised by Rock the Cotswolds, it’s being held at The Corn Hall, Cirencester on October 14.

Rock the Cotswolds was launched in 2014 as a colourful and creative national campaign to challenge popular misconceptions of the Cotswolds as little more than a tourist paradise of rolling vistas and pretty villages.

The mockumentary, This Country, was conceived by Cirencester siblings, Daisy and Charlie Cooper, as their unique take on the lives of young people in modern rural Britain.

Daisy and Charlie

Daisy and Charlie, who attended Deer Park School, still live in the town.

Each episode of the 30-minute comedy, which was filmed in Northleach, reveals the mundane lives of cousins Kerry and Kurtan Muklowe (played by Daisy and Charlie).

From trying (and failing) not to accept an inking from an amateur tattooist on the cousin’s housing estate, to Kurtan finally achieving a lifelong ambition to study NVQs at Swindon College, abandoning his cousin, Kerry, behind in the village.
